Points Ripe and layered… packed with notes of redcurrant, leather, cedar, and forest floor. Full-bodied, with more purity on the palate, it offers notes of ripe kirsch, blackberry, pressed violets, and turned soil.

Points Focused fruit and a firm structure give this wine a powerful and rather tight expression… Black cherry, cranberry and espresso flavors are alluring and concentrated.

Tasting Notes

The 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon captures the pure expression of our unique terroir at Lancaster Estate. It is a blend of four of the five of the red Bordeaux varietals we have planted on our volcanic hillside vineyards. The nose is rich with aromas of dark plum, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is deep and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark stone fruit, dried sage and a subtle earthiness. This wine should be decanted when young, and will only gain in complexity for the next 15-20 years.

Wine Fact Sheet

The 2019 growing season began with a cool spring, delaying bud break. Summer temperatures were average and allowed the grapes to ripen at a steady pace. All of our vines were harvested by October 26, when the Kincade Fire brought picking to an abrupt halt. All of our fruit from this vintage was of exceptional quality.

Consistent with Lancaster Estate’s commitment to making wines of authenticity and place, all of our wines are estate grown, produced and bottled. Native yeasts are used for primary fermentation while secondary malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrel.

To preserve the truest expression of our estate, the Lancaster Estate 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon was gently fined and then bottled unfiltered.
